INTRODUCTION.
I
HE
ROMAN
MARTYROLOGY
is
an official
and
accredited
record,
on
the
pages
of
which
are
set forth
in
simple
and
brief,
but
impressive
words,
the
glorious
deeds
of
the
Soldiers
of
Christ
in
all
ages
of the Church
;
of the
illustrious
Heroes
and
Heroines
of the
Cross,
whom
her
solemn
verdict
has
beatified
or
canonized.
In
making
up
this
long
roll
of
honor,
the
Church
has
been
actuated
by
that
instinctive
wisdom with
which
the
Spirit
of
God,
who
abides
in
her
and
teaches
her
all
truth,
has
endowed
her,
and
which
permeates
through
and
guides
all
her
actions.
She is
the
Spouse
of
Christ,
without
spot
or
wrinkle
or
blemish, wholly
glorious
and
undefiled,
whom
He
loved,
for
whom
He
died,
and
to
whom
He
promised
the
Spirit
of
Truth,
to
comfort
her
in
her dreary
pilgrimage
through
this
valley
of
tears,
and to
abide
with
her
forever.
She
is one
with
Him
in
Spirit
and
in
love,
she is
subject

to
Him in
all
things;
she
loves what He
loves,
she
teaches
and
practises
what He commands.
If
the
world
has
its
Legions
of
Honor, why
should
not
also the Church
of
the
Living
God,
the
pillar
and
the
ground
of
the
truth? If men
who
have been
stained
with
blood,
and women who have
been
tainted
with
vice,
have
had
their
memory
con-
secrated
in
prose
and
in
verse,
and
monuments
erected
to their
memory,
because
they
exhibited
extraordinary
talents,
achieved
great
success,
or
were,
to
a
greater
or less
extent,
benefactors
of
their
race
in
the
temporal
order,
which
passe
th
away,
why
should not
the true Heroes
and
Heroines
of
Jesus,
who,
imitating
His
example,
have
overcome
themselves,
risen
superior
to
and
trampled upon
the
world,
have
aspired,
in
all their
thoughts,
words,
and
actions,
to
a
heavenly
crown,
and
have
more-
over
labored with disinterested zeal
and self
-forget-
ting
love for
the
good
of their
fellow-men,
have
their
memories
likewise
consecrated and embalmed
in
the
minds and hearts of
the
people
of
God?
If
time
have its
heroes,
why
should not
eternity;
if
man,
why
should
not
God?

friends,
O
Lord,

spises, aiid
crucifies,
God, through
His
Church,
exceedingly
honors
and
exalts.
Their
praises
are
sung
forth,
with
jubilation
of
heart,
in
the
Church
of
God
for
ages
on
ages.
The wisdom
of the
Church
of
God
in
honoring
her
Saints is
equaled only
by
the
great utility
of the
practice
thus
consecrated.
The
Saints are
not
merely
heroes;
they
are models. Christ
lived
in
them,
and
Christ
yet
speaks
through
them.
They
were
the
living
temples
of the
Holy
Ghost,
in
whose
mortal
bodies
dwelt
all
the
riches
of
His
wisdom
and
grace.
They
were
in
life
consecrated
human
examp-
lars
of
divine excellence and
perfection.
Their
example
still
appeals
to
our
minds and
to
our
hearts,
more
eloquently
even
than did their
\vords
to
the
men
of their
own
generation,
while
they
were
in
the
tabernacle
of
the
flesh.
Though
dead, they
still
speak.
Their
relics are
instinct
with
sanctity,
and
through
them
they
con-
tinue
to
breathe forth
Ihe
sweet odor
of
Christ.
The
immortality
into
which
they
have
entered
still
lingers
in
their
bones,
and
seems
to
breathe
in
their
mortal
remains.
As
many
an
ardent,
spirit
has been
induced
to
rush
to
the
cannon's mouth
by
reading
the
exploits
of
earthly
heroes,
so
many
a
generous
Christian
soul has
been
fired
with
heavenly
ardor,

INTRODUCTION.
and
been
impelled
to
rush
to
the
crown
of
martyr-
dom,
by
reading
the
lives and
heroic
achievements
of
the Saints
and
Martyrs
of
Christ.
Example,
in
its
silent
appeal,
is
more
potent
in
its
influence on
the
human
heart
and
conduct
than
are words
in
their
most
eloquent
utterances.
The
Church
knows
and
feels
all
this,
in
the
Spirit
of
God
with
whom she
is
replenished
;
and hence she
sets
forth,
with
holy
joy
and
exultant
hope,
her
bright
and
ever-increasing
Calendar
of
Sanctity
of
just
men
and
women
made
perfect
and
rendered
glorious,
under
her
unearthly
and
sublime
teachings.
In
reading
this
roll of consecrated
holiness,
our
instinctive
conclusion
is,
precisely
that which
the
great
soul
of
St.
Augustine
reached at the
very
crisis
of
his
life,
the moment
of
his
conversion
If
other
men
like
me
have attained
to
such
sanctity,
why
not
I
?
Shall the
poor,
the
afflicted,
the despised
of
the
World,
bear
away
the
palm
of
victory,
the crown
of
immortality,
while
I
lie
buried
in
my
sloth
and
dead
in
my
sins,
and
thus
lose
the
brilliant
and
glorious
mansion
already prepared
for
me
in
heaven?
Shall
all
the
gifts,
which God has lavished
upon me,
be
ingloriously
spent
and
foolishly
wasted,
in
the
petty
contest
for
this
world's evanescent
honors
and
riches,
while
the
poor
and
contemned
lay
up
treasures
in
-

IX
heaven,
and
secure the
prize
of
immortal
glory?
Shall others
be
the
friends
of
God,
whom
He
delights
to
honor,
while
I
alone
remain
His
enemy,
and
an
alien
from
His
blessed
Kingdom
?
It
is
a
consoling
evidence of
progress
in
the
spir-
itual
life
in this
country
to
find
the
Martyrology
here
published,
for the
first
time,
in
English,
and
thereby
made
accessible,
in its rich
treasures
of
Sanctity,
to
all
classes
of
our
population.
It
will
prove
highly
edifying
and
useful,
not
only
to
the
members of our
numerous
religious
Communities
of
both
sexes,
but
also to the
laity
generally.
Every
day
has
here
its
record
of
Sanctity;
and
there
is
scarcely
a
Christian,
no
matter
how
lowly
or
how
much
occupied,
who
may
not be
able to
daily
persue,
with
faith
and
with
great profit,
the
brief
page
of
each
day's
models
of
Holiness.
These
belong
to
all
classes and
callings
of
life;
from
the
throne
to the
hovel,
from
the
Pontiff
to
the lowest
cleric,
from
the
philosopher
to the
peasant,
from
the
busy
walks
of
life
to
the
dreary
wastes of
the desert.
Let
all,
then,
procure
and read
daily
the
appro
priate portions
of
this
Martyrology.
Its
daily
and
pious
perusal
will
console
us in
affliction,
will
ani-
mate
us
in
despondency,
will
make our
souls
glow
with
the
love
of
God
in
coldness,
and
will
lift
